Comments Thread For: “Fighting Words” – Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.: A PR War With No Winners

[MBL]

thats bull**** but still not a shock, seems like a fight thats too good to be true

[jltsmae]

i read one idiot poster on here yesterday who after claiming to be a Floyd fan was calling him a ***** and a ducker becaue they didnt get the signature on they were hoping for on Friday.....it was obvious he wasnt going to sign way before the dealdline.

im now thinking that pacman and floyd wont fight. this was a PR stunt by Manny to make him seem like he's not on the juice becaue he alo knew Floyd wouldnt sign having only just fought, tax ramifications and his the biggest of all, being left with his father in his corner instead of Roger whilst the disfunctional Mayweather family hold together after another count of law breaking.

Manny gets his arse handed to him all day by floyd if he comes in clean. i think manny is a great fighter and i dont take away from him all his great fights before he started smashing the likes of delahoya, hatton, cotto, clottey....im thinking he will fight once more now and then back out before he either gets caught with that HGH or he actually has to fight Floyd clean and gets a serious beating

hopefully we can just leave the whole manny vs floyd fight alone and get on with fights that are happening

comm'n man, wake up!!!

Floyd as usual just thinking of himself not the fans that made him rich . Karma is going to be a ***** Floyd . If not Manny , someone will whip tha arse one day and all of us who waited for you to step up to the plate and give us the fight to prove yourself and was just toyed with by your selfish ass will rejoice ! I have nothing for you PBF and I feel you do not care about the fans either . Kiss my ass!

Be realistic guys........

The only thing FLOYD gets credit for is being smart about who to fight and when to fight them. ALL the talking he's done over the years about not getting universal respect from the fans and boxing media, this proves that he fights for money and the least risk. In order to become an all-time great, you have to take risks and beat the guys the fans and media say you can't. FLOYD knows that MANNY can outpoint/outwork him and possibly stop him and that has something to do with his decision. He's not the fighter everyone thnks he is. He will NEVER fight BERTO, COTTO, WILLIAMS, MARTINEZ. These are the types of challenging fights that people will remember. This is how you become an all-time great guys. I don't care what anybody says about WHY this fight didn't happen, it is clear that MANNY wants FLOYD BAD. He was willing to take the necessary risks that FLOYD isn't. The question is WHY wouldn't FLOYD take the fight REALLY? Is he afraid to lose?

even you dont believe this garbage. when they fight, how much money are you putting down on manny beating floyd?

b/c any SMART betting man, is putting their money on floyd.

the facts are in .... FLOYD MAYWEATHER, JR. is officially puk puk putak bok bok botak .... Floyd Mayweather, Jr. first fought a midget in Juan Manual Marquez then he fought a senior citizen in Shane Mosley who has an uncle in Roger Mayweather who can only bully a female boxer .... What is more legitimate than those in not fighting Manny Pacquaio .... ....

[GOD-FR33]

All of my points......

I am willing to RISK ALL MY POINTS ON MANNY. When you start fighting STRICTLY for money, you will lose. The desire is not the same in FLOYD anymore. I can tell. He goes through the motions and collects pay checks. He should have finished MARQUEZ and MOSLEY. They were both ready to be stopped and clearly had nothing left at the end. WHY didn't he finish them? I don't think he can handle a grueling battle at this stage in his career. He is 33 and that should be considered as well. I think he loses a fight against a fighter who won't let him breathe. When I'm watching a fight, I pay attention to every aspect and try to be fair while doing so. MANNY wants this fight and is a very passionate fighter right now, and that could mean long night if they ever fought.
